How I got here

In the October of 2011 I was looking for help with plugins for a Minecraft
(Bukkit) server, which I was trying to host off of my home desktop. A nice guy
replied, answering my question and giving me his contact information if I had
anymore. I quickly added zekesonxx on
Skype, and voice-called him.

I eventually discovered it didn't make much sense to host my own server, and
scrapped it. But, I had seen zekesonxx's site, and had gotten curious, wondering
if I could have a site on the cheap.

I asked him what all it took, and he pointed me to
w3schools.com to learn HTML, and set me up a
portion of his site to use as my own.

I quickly got to the point where I thought I just had to have my own domain, and
I purchased zbeedev.com, hoping to become a team at some point. I also
eventually scrapped that, thinking that ZbeeDEV was a stupid name, and
instead purchased zbee.me as a personal domain.

By this point I had only ever tampered with PHP, and thought it was stupid;
However, I wanted a control panel, and zekesonxx wanted me to build it myself.
So, I got to learning PHP, with a LOT of help and guidance from him.

The control panel was eventually built, mainly by zekesonxx, and was the pride
of "my" creations. It was then that I wanted to make things like this for other
people, thinking it was a breeze.

Once I added on to the control panel, making it my own, I learned that it wasn't
as easy as zekesonxx made it look, and started investing more time in learning
PHP and MySQL.

I started putting up the themes I used for a while up on my site as downloads.
I quickly came to learn that they were not as fabulous as I thought they were.
Which was my motivation to improve. Time and time again I was informed that my
designs weren't good, but at the same time I kept getting a request every now
and then to design a site, so I felt validated and kept "honing my skills".

I eventually actually got decent, and decided I was probably a better web
developer. So, I switched my focus back to that, and spawned
Shrink-a-Link because I
wanted a personal link-shrinker and couldn't find an open-source/free one out
there to build off of, and also Zebra (which was a glorified string-generator)
because I figured that I should take on a more complex project, even if it
wasn't used by anyone or even readable by another developer.

In march of 2014 I also banded together with some designers I met when I started
going to school at Colorado Springs Early Colleges and formed a little team
which would end up becoming Cinyras, a web development and design company. In
the following months I hired another developer, many more designers, and an
Information Security Specialist all to help me provide websites quickly, and
cheaply to clients.

And that's basically where I am today. Somewhere in there I picked up a like for
game development and a desire to host websites, but that's besides the point; I
want to be able to develop a site from top to bottom, totally based on my own
resources.

I have no idea how I came up with "Zbee" though, that's ridiculous. I don't
even like some of those letters.

Because you do not have JavaScript, you are not participating in my
research project. I wish you would though!
